Are cheap

Yeah, right. I know they’re cheaper than they were but they can’t be that cheap.

I stand corrected.

I’ve just realized there’s an animated series on Youtube, that I’ve had a really hard time (read: impossible) finding anywhere else, and if LEGO (yes, I’m talking about Ninjago) decides to delete these videos from their channels, the OG seasons are nowhere to ve found as far as I can tell. Yes, there are some cartoon streaming services but those are few in number and getting fewer, so I wouldn’t bet on them or any new ones that spring up having that content available in 5-10 years. And that’s worrying. Time to download all 15 seasons and store them somewhere! (oh shit, I don’t have enough space, do I)

Edit: found them on a downloads site from the piracy megathread, but only Seasons 1-11. I’ll get them all soon enough.

Edit 2: The first 11 seasons from that website come up to just over 105GB and I don’t have the space. Do I buy a 256GB USB/ Drive to store this at? I’m scared that I’m getting to the point of becoming a data hoarder. Not too long ago, I didn’t know what I’d do with my single 32GB USB, now I have added a 128GB one, and a 64GB Ventoy usb to the mix, and I still don’t have enough. Wtf?

It’s hard. If you want to play Java edition, there’s a few. If you want to go Bedrock, you’re essentially stuck on older versions, unless you want to cough up £7 for Minecraft to Google Play. Let me explain:

There are Java launchers and they work. Typically, you’ll want ones that are distributed as a jar file. SKLauncher was pretty good last I tried it. Link: https://skmedix.pl

For Bedrock, you have 3 options: The Bedrock Launcher, which requires you to own the game on Google Play, the Other Bedrock Launcher which also works with Google Play BUT also allows you to use an x86 apk for Minecraft (the xbox versions and most of the ones you find online simply will not work, unless you want to play 1.15, which IIRC is the latest you can find an apk for (and finding any x86 apk that works is nearly impossible in itself)). And your third option is an emulator like Waydroid but in my experience they all suck, so…

The TLDR is: For Java they exist and are good. Find ones in a jar file, like SKLauncher, which I’d recommend as it worked when I used it a few months back

For Bedrock, just succumb and buy it from Google Play, then log into that google account in the launcher and enjoy.

The other options for Bedrock (using Waydroid, or finding an old x86 apk and using it with the other Bedrock Launcher) both just suck.

I’m hoping we get a persistent jailbreak for the PS4. The current one is not persistent, so I didn’t bother. But I have a 10.50 FW one laying around, just in case.

And THAT is the attitude that causes Linux to still not be ready for many people.

Unfortunately, a lot of those are super popular and there are still gamers that want to switch to Linux but can’t because of those games.

I just started using a namecheap domain that I registered a few weeks ago, and this title scared me for a minute lol

After their CEO being detained and arrested in France because of the illegal activity on his platform, it was a matter of time.

These publishers’ names are:

Hachette,

Penguin Random House,

Wiley,

and

HarperCollins

Time to never buy any book from them again. I’m moving on to pirating ebooks and audiobooks. Sorry JRR and Christopher Tolkien (may you rest in peace), but I’m not buying any more of your books because they were published by HarperCollins. And I’m also not buying a lot of other books too.

Oh fuck. I was just doing a nostalgia-driven rewatch of some shows and they cut me halfway through Total Drama. When it went down, I found the show on Youtube! And just watched it there. But I had other shows to watch too…

Yup. I’ve been using Eternity and I like it but it doesn’t mean you would.

If I was a lecturer/professor, I’d totally do that.

But also, don’t forget to use adblock!

Is that why he only attacks at the end of the year lol?

Perfect. Right before the start of the new academic year, too!

You just have to make sure you don’t get caught…

If it’s on a students personal device, they can suck my hullabaloo

Meta, Alphabet, Netflix, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, … (what’s the other NA)?

In my experience, it really depends. Like, for the Arch Linux iso it’s basically the same, but for some more niche distros, there might not be many seeds so direct download from a local mirror might be faster.

Agreed. Both are true.
